Top rated Willoughby dog boarders

“They are really nice, caring people and have the perfect setting to board. My Andrew was very well cared for and loved while I was gone. Would definitely use them again.”


“Monique was wonderful and her dogs were welcoming and friendly. She accommodated our change in schedule and has fed and walked our girl. We would use her again next time in town.”


“We are returning customers and when we were planning for an out-of-town trip, there was no question of where to go for boarding for our pup. I was confident that he would be in good hands and enjoying himself in a comfortable and fun atmosphere while we were away. We are very thankful for her great care--thanks again, Katie!!”


“Samantha is awesome! She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures and texts letting us know our dog was being well taken care of. Can’t recommend her enough and we will keep her in mind for future overnight dog sittings!”

“My dog, Stash, and I met with Sofiia and her husband before his first overnight with them. They were very welcoming and sweet with Stash. On the night of his first stay, Sofiia sent me several updates with photos so I knew Stash was comfortable and well taken care of. Stash has a bit of separation anxiety when we first leave him, so I really appreciated Sofiia’s patience with him - following her around all day, and also with the several times he got up throughout the night. I know he was loved with them while we were away.”


“Peaches is the best there is! She cares our dog like her own. Boise loves spending time with Peaches and her dogs. She provides frequent updates with pictures and videos. I feel so lucky to be able to have Boise under her care. Thank you Peaches!!”


“Wonderful as usual! It is such a relief to know our Murphy is well cared for and happy! We love the pictures and videos throughout his stay. We just got home - he is happy, healthy and ready for a nap!”


“I felt very at ease leaving my dog with Natalia. She gave me daily updates and pictures and I felt as though her family treated Lola as their own. I did not have to worry at all about Lola while I was away. Thank you Natalia!”


“Are you kidding? Samantha is amazing! Nala is happy to call her a new friend!”



“Jacqueline professionally and lovingly watched my 15# Schnoodle for a week during Thanksgiving. This was the second time I've used her services. I think she did a tremendous job taking care of my little guy. She communicated daily with me by text and thru pictures, answered all questions promptly and seemingly had a great time with my dog. Her abilities in managing dogs who need medication is outstanding and her attention to detail is beyond excellent. Her fenced in yard is also a terrific bonus. I would recommend her to any prospective person who is looking for someone who will be home all day with your pet while giving them the same patience and attention that we do as their owners. Thanks Jackie!!”


“Kaitlynn you as great with Noland. I could tell she took great care of him because he was very happy when I got him back. She is very accommodating. She sent lots of pics and updates. Thank you again!”


“We never have to worry when Tommy is at his home away from home. I know that I can leave him and he will be loved as though he were with me. We always appreciate the pictures and little notes. This stay was unique in that I had to contact Kathy and request to extend Tommy's stay because of a family member's health. Kathy was so accommodating and without hesitation kept Tommy two extra days. Tommy is already looking forward to his next "vacation"! Five stars is not enough!!!”


“Wonderful sitters. Wonderful family. Penny had a great time with them and the girls gave her a lot of love and exercise. Will rebook with no reservations.”


“Rosie had a great time with a lovely family and new doggie friends! We got daily updates, pictures, videos, and communication was always very good. We are happy we found a great environment were our puppy feels comfortable when we are away from home.”


“Madison graciously accepted us and sent pics twice throughout the day. She took my little one to the dog park and he had a grand time. It was such great experience I'm booking her for a week when I have to travel for work!”
